[brlcad-devel] Debugging g-nff and Friends

[Tom B. <tom...@gm...>]

I'm seeing some similarities between a failure in g-nff and other,
similar tesselating converters.  On the same .g file, some bomb and
throw "(BRL-CAD)-nnnnn-bomb.log", and some don't. but they all seem to
fail on the same region.

Is there any way to turn off or change the behavior of bu_bomb/bu_log
for the converter programs so I can capture info from stderr and
stdout without bothering the executables internally?  I know I can use
'script' if I have to but would rather not.

I would like to try them all so I can easily determine to which set
they belong (and document that in TODO) for further investigation of
the problem.

And does anyone mind if I change the "(BRL-CAD)-nnnnn-bomb.log" to
"BRL-CAD-nnnnn-bomb.log" (because the parens aren't pleasant for a
*nix file system)?

Cheers!
